Still no sign of him so if people could look out for him please, I'd be grateful!

@Brazilnut .   to answer your question about why not use cheaper materials and continue the work around the viaduct and tuck's plot.  it just would not work out financially.  The money saved by using cheaper materials would not pay for a further period of construction work around such a large area. I do understand the worries about cleaning the new Strand, and the answer lies in making ...

The point is that disabled drivers are allowed to park in pay and display bays for as long as they want that wasnt so under the old system so to my way of thinking if i was a disabled driver living or working close to the Strand it would be a great place to park for free.  I did raise the point of limiting parking for disabled drivers with Devon County and they said they would look into it but as ...

It would be nice IF someone from the Carnival Committee could reply to these threads regarding the Carnival. With regard to what Ziggy has said, has anyone seen anything in the Gazette regarding the choosing of this years Carnival Queen and attendants? I can't say I have.

What I cant understand is the need to have spent all that money on the Strand, surely less expensive slabs and it could have been extended to go all around Tucks Plot and Viaduct. Also it would have looked just as good if they had made it like Brunswick, path alongside lawn with smart ballustrading, parking along that side, and just made the path wider on the shop side and No Parking just the ...

Well its only what has been said on here! and the comments are worth a read too, this one I do agree with" We used to have rent control which, was abolished. Time to bring it back" you only have to watch programmes like Homes under the Hammer to realise what is happening, buy it cheap, spend a little on it,rent it out and add it to my pension pot portfolio because the interest rates are ...

The letter above was written two years ago. The article found in the link below, published yesterday, seems to confirm that what that letter of two years ago predicted would happen has proven to be correct. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/may/19/uk-spends-2bn-housing-homeless-short-term

Isnt providing disabled only parking a form of discrimination especially as the blue badge scheme allows them to park anywhere in any case. There's something not quite right here we have disabled bays which can ONLY be used by blue badge holders, and we have loading bays which can be used by anyone including blue badge holders. The parking has been reduced by half and what is left is going ...

If you get a parking ticket, it's ALWAYS worth asking the police/council to provide a copy of it-they have to provide it! If the police haven't retained a copy they should request it from the local council who have made it - if they can't give you a copy they can't enforce it! Speaking from experience as I use to write them and on occasion 'find' them for the police, any older than 10 years old ...

Thats all well and good, but we never find out who is responsible and if they ever get sacked for incompetence. This is not the first time road traffic orders have not been applied for in the region, but motorists have been victimised.
